Rock Decorating Contest
2023-2024
The primary and upper elementary are hosting the 3rd Annual Rock Decorating Contest. Please adhere to the following guidelines if your child is wanting to participate in the contest. Reminder: This is not a requirement.
~ Decorated rocks can be no bigger than a fist
~ Student creativity is preferred
~ Must be a book character and accompanied by the book
We will have a grade level contest along with an overall building level winner. Each student that has a winning rock will receive a gift certificate to purchase a book in the upcoming book fair! A book of the student’s choice is also donated to their classroom. So by participating in the contest you are supporting a love for reading and your child’s classroom.
Rocks can be brought to school Monday, Oct. 23rd or Tuesday, Oct. 24th. Judging will take place later in the week. Rocks will be displayed throughout the following week and returned home after Halloween.
Adding the decorated rocks to the Skyler’s Sneaky Snake after the contest would be a fun way to spend time with your child while traveling through town trying to find ‘the snake’ as it moves from location to location. Mrs. Brittany West has volunteered to take the rocks to ‘the snake’ if you would rather your student drop it off in her classroom. If your child chooses to drop their rock off with Mrs. West it will not be coming home.
Thank you for your support
